If I have folder with thousands of files I can use the Files and get a list of the file names and it will end with the type preceded by a dot such as .jpg.
I can set the item delimiter to “.” and do a repeat to get the last item of each line and I will have a list of all file types and the name/line they are associated with. If I want to filter the list to only include a certain list of file types I can do a repeat and check the type for each file name & then provide a list of types to check such as “png,db,gif.text” and say if if “jpg” is in the list then do whatever like include or do not include this file in the list. What is the fastest way to filter a list of files if you know the name and type of the file? Would a regex be good for this?
